Default Reverse Split Cam ?

Thunder Racing Custom "Reverse Split" Camshaft - 230/224 .575/.563 111 LSA 2200-6800 RPM Power Band. Ok, so it says computer tuning "Required"
so could I enlarge the TB hole until I could get the tuning done or with the 111 LSA would I be dying out all the time?

you would be much better off waiting until you can get ls1 edit tuning at the same time, that cam won't idle well with stock tuning.

would it make good power? I am in Virginia Beach, would I be able to drive the car out of state to either PA or FL to get tuning? Unless anyone knows a good place in Richmond VA or somewhere near me

The car will run, but it won't run well. What I mean is at stop lights you might have to be giving it gas to keep it running, and you will also have problems with start up, but it will run.

You can just send your pcm to a tuner to have it tuned, they can tune it a return it quickly to minimize downtime.

I am wondering the same thing about this cam on an A4. Or what about the X1?

the dyno graph on Thunder Racing page showed 410rwhp on stock heads with almost the same mods I have with the exception of FLP LT's.

don't expect 400+ rwhp. that graph is from Jason's 6 speed car.
that is a pretty nasty cam, especially for an A4

I decided on the Hot Cam, even though I didnt even list it. I jsut get a warm fuzzy knowing its a GM part.
Thanks for the help guys
